West of the Mississippi

Spent some time on the Pigeon River … And on the banks of the Cumberland Walked the hills of Appalachia … With my lady - my best friend Saw the view from Lookout Mountain … To the Cumberland Plateau But when it’s all said and done … You know where I want to go Music City often calls my name … Spirits of the Ryman haunt my soul And on the banks of the Mississippi … Sets the birthplace of rockn- roll Graceland’s splendor is never fading … Beale Street makes my spirit dance But I’ll cross that muddy river … If you give me half a chance Lay me down west of the Mississippi The White River waits to lead me home Makes no difference where I wander Makes no difference where I roam Lay me down west of the Mississippi That’s the place I call home It’s where my roots are deeply planted … Where the gentle waters flow In the valley of my people … Where the peaceful breezes blow Lay me down west of the Mississippi The White River waits to lead me home Makes no difference where I wander Makes no difference where I roam Lay me down west of the Mississippi That’s the place I call home

Torn meniscus can lead to more injury if not treated

One of the most common injuries to the knee is known as the torn meniscus. But because the word “meniscus” is not commonly used in everyday speech, many may not know what it means. Activities that can lead to a torn meniscus include sports or work that cause a forceful twist or rotation of the knee - such as pivoting or suddenly stopping. If not treated, this knee injury can lead to additional health issues, according to Richard White, M.D., orthopedic surgeon at Fitzgibbon Orthopedic and Sports Medicine.
